In Their Words …
" Keeper of political scorecards on environmental votes, this small but feisty group actually endorses candidates who might be good for green causes. Its small staff proves that you don't need a huge budget to make a difference. Still, more money couldn't hurt. "

A Low Maintence Lawn
Good for you. Good for the Bay.
Are you spending money for fertilizer your lawn doesn't need and polluting our rivers and streams?
Adopt a Low-Maintenance Approach to Lawn Care.
- Do a soil test. Know what your soil needs before fertilizing.
- Fertilize only in the Fall. Use a slow-release fertilizer.
- Keep the mowing height at 3". This will shade out weeds and won't stress the roots.
- Leave grass clipings on the lawn. After two years, fertilization can be reduced by 25%. This is called "grass cycling".
